The world-famous DJ stated he begin to fill ill after an Idaho skiing trip and the conditions hit him while in a store.

From there the symptoms would escalate, however, he was unable to get the proper testing.

“I literally went home and got into bed and almost don’t remember the next 11 days after that…When we finally were able to go to the doctor, they wouldn’t test me for COVID-19, they gave me a flu test and then gave me an x-ray on my lungs and said I had pneumonia in both of my lungs, which terrified me to death,” he added.
